| $500 USB cable But it doesn't. Making things more confusing is that fact that the source outputting the USB signal and the USB output implementation in that source have an effect. So does the amount of voltage required and the quality of the power supply to that... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Johnny R is one of the most knowledgable and trustworthy dealers you will find. He is also smart in that he focuses on brands that are likely to pass the test of time. After you visit with him, you will have a high standard on which to compare oth... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @rotarius You are assuming that the cantilever and cartridge body are both straight and parallel. Many carts have different shaped bodies and many carts, especially if you buy used, have cantilevers that aren't parallel. Only a mirrored surface th... | |
| Speaker upgrade... The HC version of the Radian means High Current, requiring a high current amp like the Spectral that they were designed with. After hearing them at a top dealer in a couple of ~1hr. demos, I fell in love and eventually bought them along with Spect... | |

| Lumin A-1 or Lumin U1 I love the Lumin app for iPad which I use with microRendu. Intuitive, reliable, no glitches or freezing. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. All 3 are decent choices, all 3 better w/subwoofer for rock, especially the smaller stand mount models. I'd add Vandersteen and GoldenEar to the list. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Affordable Turntable Options Hunt at local garage sales & craigslist for a Technics SL1200 for a couple of hundred and then look at the KAB upgrades and similar upgrades. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Idiot trying to upgrade his system - likes the tube sound Are you willing to invest the time to rip your CDs from a computer to digital files?

| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Frank, very interesting stuff from Robert. It's funny in one sense as the 17D...17D3 all have a reputation for a more tipped up treble than the rest of the Dyna family. Does that imply that the others further up the line are too reticent on treble... |
